Tables S1, S2, and S3. Table S1 includes the best hits based on TBLASTN for each DNA transposon family identified in the D. pulex genome. Table S2 includes rates of putative somatic gains per ancestral insertion in six families of transposable elements across mutation-accumulation lineages where sex was promoted (sexuals) and prohibited (asexuals). Table S3 contains primer sequences.

Supplemental Data S1 and Table S4. Data S1 is a FASTA file of canonical D. pulex Class 2 DNA transposons. Table S4 lists the scaffold and coordinates for all regions of the genome masked by canonical representatives of the DNA transposons in D. pulex (note that these are not filtered based on size or similarity).

Additional file 5:
Trace file from transposon display reactions showing evidence for a putative germline gain of a copy of the hATA1.1 element. The top four traces show separate runs for the sample, indicating a new, replicable peak is found at 385 bp (red box). A putative somatic insertion is also visible in the top trace file (at 436 bp; blue box) where a new peak was observed in only this replicate. The bottom two traces are from another line and represent the ancestral state for the lineages lacking these new copies.

Peak heights for transposon display performed for hATA1.1 using MA lines of D. pulex. All peaks were above minimum thresholds for inclusion (see Additional file 4). Peaks were scored based on replicability as a: 1, ancestral insertion (common across lineages and replicable within a lineage); 2, new germline insertion (found only in one lineage, replicable in all TD reactions); or 3, putative somatic insertion (unique to one lineage and not replicable in three TD reactions). Peak heights are based on heights scored by Genemapper software for each of three TD replicate reactions performed for each lineage, with the heights for the new germline insertion shown in pink (described in Additional file 5). Lines represent a best fit for each group.
